"Call of the Wild Huskies" is situated on a beautiful 5 acre frontier style setting complete with rustic log cabin in the foothills of the Washington Cascades. Here Von's entire husky sled dog team enjoys the best that country living has to offer. Their 24' x 36' kennel barn and adjacent dog yard allows them to socialize daily and to enjoy both an indoor and outdoor lifestyle. Our mushing season runs from October through April of each year. The team is trained up to three times weekly on rural forest roads beginning in Fall as weather cools.
Call of the Wild Huskies Farm
Von's kennel is comprised of Alaskan and Siberian Huskies either adopted from shelters or "rehomed" from mushing collegues. Von fondly considers each husky a special member of his extended family.
At dusk and again at dawn the entire team of huskies raise their voices in a unified, eerie, yet hauntingly beautiful harmony! As their "song" carries across the pasture and reverberates off the surrounding evergreen trees, we're reminded of their primordial, ancient kinship with wild wolves. It is this music that earned them their kennel name, "Call of the Wild Huskies . . . "

In 2009 the Serum Run '25 Expedition set out to retrace the original 1925 route across Alaska to deliver lifesaving antitoxin by dog teams to Diphtheria stricken Nome.
To prepare for the arduous journey, Washington state musher Von Martin meticulously assembled 1,200 lbs of supplies, trained his team of twelve huskies for hundreds of miles, and made the long midwinter drive to Alaska. What he did not anticipate was the worst Alaskan winter in decades.
Cut off from the expedition's support party and faced with an impassable trail, Von Martin and the Serum Run '25 mushers must make a heartbreaking decision for their expedition and their faithful sled dogs.
